I dont always comment but I read every single post and have been keeping track of this thread. Wishing all the best to everyone who is fighting, struggling and helping with trials. Thank you so much for being so unselfish by coming back to post updates, good and bad. These words will be here for many, many years helping future patients and caregivers until, as The Hellion put it... someone is the last one to die from this.

Best wishes with everything!
